Retrolooks: The Osborne 1 vs The Apple iBook

from the going-back-in-time... dept

Kevin Kinisky writes "Gather round children of the digital age and let me tell you about the ancient times when cable modems didn’t exist and Microsoft was in its infancy, let me tell you the legend of the first laptop. There was in fact a portable computer system in existence in the twilight of consumer electronics age aka the 80’s." Mmmmmm... I remember those things. I remember the first time I saw a "portable" computer (not sure if it was the Osborne, but it looked similar) and thought of how cool it would be to own one.
